Updated pics at the bottom of this post, more in my updated posts.
Greetings all! My latest is to build a Marvel Comic inspired "The PIT", as it was famously drawn in its first incarnation. While I do not plan to accurately build this thing in its depiction, I do plan to represent everything incorporated in the drawing. From the motor pool above, down to the Top Secret areas of the bottom level. My plan is to go three sub-levels (instead of five) with the initial plan now to incorporate multiple levels together as it makes sense. My next task it to design and build a working elevator for personnel and for vehicle. That's going to be the centerpiece of the thing. Dimensions: Roughly 2' x 2' for what's imaged, by 50" tall. Each floor is 16" between the 1/2" plywood floors. I will build another 2' x 2' x 50" tall section to adjoin to what's been build now. So when these vehicles are coming on or off the elevetor, there will be a 2' section for them to aim towards. The personnel elevator is 4" x 4" The vehicle elevator is big enough for the '83 APC to utilize it. 16" tall floors is WAAAY out of scale for this, but I want display/playability with this thing. And why I chose these dimensions. I plan to get the structural stuff done fairly fast, it will be decorating it, I am not looking forward to. Since I started this today, I figure I would document its growth in this WIP thread. Hope you all enjoy! Added Updates:

1/2" Plywood-you could use it as furniture when you aren't playing with it!

I've been wanting to do that for years. When my little boy is old enough I'll finally have the excuse to do it.
